Shila

Mediterrean Seafood

On trendy north Ben Yehuda Street, the always-packed Shila, a temple to creative seafood from wunderkind Sharon Cohen, attracts a stylish crowd. This haunt is a favorite with celebrities—the cast of “Homeland” was known to dine here nightly when they filmed the thriller’s second season in Tel Aviv—and for good reason: the grilled scallops on creamed corn and red tuna carpaccio with Campari lemongrass sorbet deserve a paparazzi following all their own.

On the ground floor of the stylish Hotel Montefiore sits its excellent and eponymous restaurant, a dapper, hushed brasserie whose Francophone menu has only benefitted from an injection of Vietnamese charm.
